- This $299,987 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of "BobbeRone," a low-cost, portable float that uses acoustic sensing to detect regionally important zooplankton, fish, and marine mammals in near real-time. The project aims to provide high-resolution data and coverage needed for biological observation in coastal waters by deploying many BobbeRone floats. The award will support the mentoring of a...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $199,831 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the final development and at-sea testing of a Hadal Water Column Profiler. The profiler, capable of reaching depths of 11 km, will allow for repeated vertical profiling of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbulent mixing, current velocity, acoustic backscatter, and video. It also features an...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a novel ocean skin temperature sensor for uncrewed surface vehicles and buoys. The $349,299 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, will implement a simplified technique using a special infrared wavelength band that reduces the need to measure downwelling sky radiation, a key challenge in obtaining accurate sea surface temperature measurements. This...
- This three-year, $482,834 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support analysis of Lagrangian observations from vertically profiling floats to investigate levels of internal waves and their role in transforming water properties through vertical mixing along the Pacific-to-Indian Ocean throughflow pathway. Specifically, the award recipient, the University of Washington Office of Sponsored Programs, will utilize existing and new float...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $968,427.00 to the University of Washington for the DEEPCYTE: AN AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER FLOW CYTOMETER project. This grant funds the development of an advanced submersible flow cytometer instrument and associated buoy platform to enable autonomous, high-sensitivity monitoring of the smallest phytoplankton populations in marine environments from the tropics to the poles. The project...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $222,536 to the University of Washington to acquire and develop oceanographic instrumentation for two of its research vessels, the R/V Thompson and R/V Rachel Carson. Specifically, the funding will be used to: Develop an underway CTD system and acquire two CTD probes for the vessels. Install a 150 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to complement the existing ADCP systems. Purchase...
- This $299,998 EAGER project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the University of Washington's investigation into the use of biodegradable bioplastics for oceanography drifting buoys. The project aims to develop a more eco-friendly approach to experimental oceanography by researching the use of biodegradable materials for buoy construction. This women-led effort would provide training opportunities for students in polymer science,...
- This three-year, $654,518 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the University of Maine in developing an open, platform-agnostic sediment trap controller and imaging sensor to measure sinking organic carbon fluxes in the ocean's mesopelagic zone (500-1,000 meters). Specifically, the University will create a controller to simplify the construction and deployment of neutrally buoyant sediment traps...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $880,490 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington (UW) to test a new type of distributed acoustic sensing technology. The project aims to extend the range of this technology, which can detect signals such as earthquakes, ocean waves, whale songs, and ship movements, by enabling it to operate across the optical repeaters of submarine telecommunications cables. Over 3 months, the project will collect...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $490,570 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to develop an autonomous eddy covariance air-sea CO2 flux measurement system for use on moored ocean buoys. This system is designed to provide accurate, low-power measurements of atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide exchange, which is critical for improving the predictive capabilities of climate models. As part of this project,...
